Every contract on the Leafs could be traded for a positive return (NMC excluded). Thus, no bad contracts on the Leafs.
Andreas Johnsson was literally just traded for a B-level prospect though... thats a negative return. Kerfoot would return negative value as wellEvery contract on the Leafs could be traded for a positive return (NMC excluded). Thus, no bad contracts on the Leafs.

That isnt true at all lolNo it's not, it's a B-level prospect. That is a positive return. A negative return would be like trading Johnsson with a 3rd for a 7th. Like, literally giving more value to get rid of them.
That isnt true at all lol
Johnsson is a far superior player to Joey Anderson, thus you lost value in the trade
Because what youre saying is outlandishYou can go have a read about Johnsson in the Johnsson thread. But if a team gave up positive value to acquire a player at a contract, then it is a positive value contract. A bad contract is one you can't get rid of, not one that a team will give you something of value back for.
Besides, why are you refuting my statement about Leafs not having any bad contracts by bringing up a player that is not even on a Leafs. There is just so much wrong with where you've taken this that I don't know where to begin.

Losing a trade doesn't mean you gained value lmfao

You literally just cap dumped Johnsson in a no value trade due to the cap. That return you received was essentially worthless. Had Johnsson been on a good contract you likely keep him or would have received something of worth.
That is used to counter the tax disadvantage Toronto has

You can keep trying but you’re wrong, we’re in agreement on those contracts being bad. We just also have to acknowledge that benning is saddled with Eriksson and Holtby which is imo worse.

alright, well if johnsson was a bad contract, now he's NJ's bad contract so i'm right: no bad contracts on the leafs.
nj has at least one: Johnsson
good on Dubas to get a return on a "bad contract", let alone a b-level prospect.
can't say i expected to have an insightful discussion here
What is this take lmao.You literally just cap dumped Johnsson in a no value trade due to the cap. That return you received was essentially worthless. Had Johnsson been on a good contract you likely keep him or would have received something of worth.
panarin's contract is no guarantee to end up sweet. kreider is already in the first year an overpayment and trouba is for sure no bargain.Only Brendan Smith is left now! One month ago would have had Marc Staal and Hank on the books as well.
1) I'd take all of those contracts over Frans Nielsen's
2) TOR's depth is better than DET's
I don't have any because I'm not a Leafs fan....Detroit only has that contract for 2 more years and are actually able to afford 11 - 12 depths players from next year until the future
You have 4 of the most overpaid players in the league
That’s just a disingenuous take on the trade. Does Nate Schmidt have negative value? Of course not. The pandemic cratered value across the league. That Johnsson was still able to be traded at all with 92% of the leagues cap taken up means the contract was not an albatross at all.Andreas Johnsson was literally just traded for a B-level prospect though... thats a negative return. Kerfoot would return negative value as well

paying top line players top money isn't the same as paying a replacement level player 4 or 5 million for "only 2 more years" (convenient that you left off the 4 years of carrying that overpaid player).
If DET hits on their picks they'll be paying top $ for their players too, and those won't be bad contracts either.
As Bill Veeck said: "It isn't the high price of stars that is expensive, it's the high price of mediocrity."
And in guys like Nielsen, injury prone DeKeyser, Ericsson, corpse of Zetterberg, Filpula that would be the high price of less than mediocre.
